Abstract

Early in our lives, we become aware of the tendency of all material objects to be attracted towards the earth. Anything thrown upwards eventually falls down. The constituents of universe are galaxy, stars, planets, asteroids, meteors, etc. The force which keeps them bound together is called gravitational force. Earth exerts a force of gravity on all objects. With every passing day, the need for sustainable living on Earth is increasing greatly. For this world needs to start using renewable energy resources. The following project shows how electricity can be generated using gravity in simplest possible way. Mechanical components like Spur gears, chain and mass provide input to an electrical circuit through a generator motor. Every time you lift the weight, gravitational potential energy is converted into electrical energy for 68 seconds in this model. Power generation from gravity is cheaper and bio-efficient as compared to solar and other renewable energy sources.
